It never will. They are past their “growth financed” stage and are going to be passed around to owners expecting to squeeze a bit more out of it. This process is not reversible because nobody wants to buy it and just lose money.
Well, if you want a lot of content, may be. If you like smaller communities, values freedom, privacy and nice people, stay here
Tankies to the left of me, chatbots to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with you
It will never be better, it will only ever get worse. This is the true true
No.
Not better, but I still look in on my fav subs every month or so. I still think it’s worth building a good alternative here so this is my primary
Reddit is not the same. I’ve been lurking and the site just seems weird. Like the demographics of the users has changed, or maybe the promotion algorithm is different. It’s just weird now, lots of celebrity worship (there are no fewer than three active subs dedicated to the girl from Stranger Things). A lot of the old popular subs have new mods and new culture to go along. It still seems dominated by the political left, but still more conservative than Lemmy: you’ll see plenty of chud content if you keep scrolling.
It’s still a great resource for niche interests, and the userbase is huge, but not welcoming to a person like me otherwise.
That’s for you to answer. There are many niche subs that don’t have their equivalent here, but I don’t even miss them that much anymore. Reddit had so much content you could scroll for ages, even though half of it you saw already. I feel served here just fine. Feels more like reddit when I joined (though it was a bit more lively even back then)
I don’t think it really recovered after the mod revolt. A lot of the major subs have changed and the site seems more geared to delivering content than having discussions.
If you like some subs that you want to participate in, I’d participate in those. However, for a general Reddit experience, it just isn’t the same.
I still look at it to gawk at the insanity on r/conspiracy or what the fear mongering knuckleheads on r/conservative are talking about. You can’t get the on Lemmy.
I never post or upvote on Reddit though. Simply lurk. I enjoy posting here because just seems way more chill.
It’s different, but usually not better. I still check it out for some subs which here have no active users or that don’t even exist at all. But the quality of the answers and the community is much better here. I don’t know if that means the quality of answers on Reddit got worse or if the difference became apparent to me after using Lemmy.
Depends on your use case. If you like the content or communities that exist here, then obviously stay. Lemmy/Kbin/Mbin feel fairly stable about what communities exist and which get actual traffic, so make your decision based on your interests and interactions, as well your beliefs.
I’m on Reddit way more often than I’m on here cause my favorite subreddits don’t exist here in any capacity oe have minimal activity
